Difference between two replacement screens

Hello,

Anyone knows what's the difference between these two products?

1. "iPhone 6s Plus LCD Screen and Digitizer Premium": https://eustore.ifixit.com/en/Parts/iPho...

2. "iPhone 6s Plus LCD Screen and Digitizer Full Assembly":https://eustore.ifixit.com/en/Parts/iPho...

Apart from the word "premium" in the first one, there is no apparent difference.

thanks

There are two things to note here. You are comparing a premium screen with no small parts attached to a regular screen with small parts included (camera and sensor flex). Some people like to have the camera flex included as that makes the repair simpler. However, you are forsaking an original quality camera and flex for an aftermarket one. I would stick to a screen without the camera so that I can keep the original goodness.

The premium screen uses a cold glue process for securing the frame to the glass and should feature OEM quality flexes and LCD. The regular screen is aftermarket quality so it will have aftermarket flexes and LCD. I don't know if the iFixit regular screens uses a hot glue process or not but that is a lower quality process.

Either way, iFixit stands behind their products so if you do have any issues, they will cover it.

At my shop I prep my displays to have the cameras and backplates on them already. Turns my repairs into five minute average. It's much easier, but what you're actually paying for is those extra parts. Which cost money

Sure there is, look at the prices! I'm sure there must be quality differences or one's an OEM.
